on a case i look at the practice of no knock warrants will be back in just a month. into the only military mechanisms that it'll work to bring justice to. i have every right to know what my government should do if you want to know why i pay taxes. i would characterize obama as a charismatic version of american exceptionalism. to . get some lunch a story and it seems so for like sleep you think you understand it and then a glimpse something else you hear see some other part of it and realize that everything is ok you don't i'm sorry welcome to the big picture.

let's not forget that we had an apartheid regime. i think even one well. we never got the feds there for keeping safe get ready because of the freedom. for five. ft. five.

now we've talked about america's war on drugs in the past but today let's get a different perspective on this battle from the deep south where race is an issue just under the surface which always seems quick to emerge as a factor when it comes to justice and the law corie may he's found himself on the wrong side of the law after a deadly outcome and a no knock raid and after spending almost a decade behind bars wrongfully sentenced to death row he's finally seeing justice and returning home to his family archie's kalen forward takes us down to mississippi where it all happened.

it's a day corey may has waited nearly a decade. the day he can wrap his arms around his kid. i waited a long time just to have a world. we don't have to see behind it was like the saying we're going to take the time they. should do with it and it is mother's cooking. things corey could only dream up from his cell and death row. something had to go and terrible to roll after the fall for. this but in his character it really took a fall a real. hero murdered but i always feel my will one day. he was coming home cory story begins here on december twenty sixth two thousand and one when police executed a warrant against his neighbor jamie smith before proceeding to his side of the duplex what happened next would change corey's life forever corey says he was

asleep when police broke down the door looking for drugs came in the someone you know this is actually her son warbird in your house when the little girl. was crying and defending his eighteen month old daughter corey says he hid behind her bed and fired three shots killing prentiss police officer ron jones he was white drove one whose dad was white. teeth police were rationed fact because he is black he's charged with feeling wrong police found enough marijuana for a one hundred dollars fine because he was convicted of capital murder and sentenced to death in just two hours by a jury of ten whites in two black there's more to do in the senate than this into the truth like the true google search. i would never would have thought they would be what they'd done to. take me away to the.

big thing like this it was that. they had to do this not malice and never would have the warrant for the grade was based entirely on a tip from this quote reliable police informant. who are very very very very. quiet. but this interview does a rebel even that race the story because it became very valuable in the pursuit of this play you still spent nine and a half years in prison three on death row before he won his appeal and eventually his freedom when his mother came to me or he happens to be the same age as i once who did. and i couldn't help but think you know that could be mushroom there

for defending corey evans was fired as prince's public defender. today corey is among friends and family who are. nimble spouse amanda and i think they hear they had against them because this is nature he's been my day receives the smallest. he was always smile. and open to you he came home steals man. just so you know. still haven't says it isn't safe for corey and jefferson davis county court is always going to be to gather people because. even though we have certainly proven that there was no wind keen on his part you need any of that he's always going to be dead yeah he's always going to be a convicted felon now thirty corey is eager to get on with his life or go to flaws this. take. these were. probably seven. they're confident that it was the truth that set him free.

in florida r t monticello this is it. and there are a lot of issues that this one man's story touches on miscarriages of justice the possible inequality of our judicial process in this country and the tactics of police now in this case you see the consequences of one of the no doc raids no knox no announcement police wallin and is this case chosen as critics argue they can be extremely volatile and leave very little margin for error here to talk about tactics like this in the name of the war on drugs is here in houston he's executive director of students first sensible policy now thank you so much for being here thank you critics of no knock raids argue that possibly in very volatile situations where you have a fugitive on the run or hostage situations of that kind of thing they can be effective but that this this day and age they're mostly used to serve drug warrants

is this a problem in your eyes absolutely it's a problem we have about one hundred ten but no not really it's occurring every day in this country and that's a lot of raids and we've had a proliferation of swat teams since the mid ninety's throughout the country and really you go back to the old phrase in american culture if you only you have a hammer all you see is nails and so we see that as a problem here where every town in america does not have terrorists necessarily that would require a swat team going in guns blazing every town in america does its drugs and people who use drugs we have students responsible drug policy americanization says base we say basically the war on drugs is a war on us it's a war on us and it recognizes that this is a failed war that caused cost people's lives and it costs blood. right or it's cost an enormous amount of blood and treasure for this country but how do you really prove that in this situation that something like no knock raids that the violence

or that the consequence is outweigh the success of serving warrants with this method what are the real hard facts are examples well the proof is in the pudding you see the case of a columbia missouri man in two thousand and ten whose home was raided he was purported to be a drug dealer got a small amount of marijuana on him and the police came in and they shot his dogs and he watched his dog along with his children small children his wife watched their family dog die and it turned out the man was charged with a misdemeanor possession of marijuana charge that's outrageous and he was actually also it is his kids taken away from child endangerment charges and the charge was that somehow you'd endangered children more by possessing marijuana and then the cops had by coming in and shooting his dog and turning his house into a shooting gallery so the only thing is in the putting it just doesn't work it's not necessary and for the proliferation of these teams in the mid ninety's we didn't have an epidemic of people police officers going and getting shot trying to

get information about basic drug crimes they were knocked on the doors that's what happened this is the part of the problem it's unfair to both the citizens get arrested and the police are put in this terrible position and force and on and force war on drugs i want to get back to that but if the worst cases are where someone's dog is getting shot but they're serving one hundred ten no knock warrants a day and most of them for are for drug offenses i don't know that makes that's the case that these are so dangerous and so over bearing well unfortunately a lot of people actually die as well a lot of a lot of kids die a lot of people who are on arms and innocent people get shot and they get killed we saw that recently we saw the mayor of berwyn heights here locally his home was raided in a mistake and really i mean these this is serious stuff like the cops themselves will tell. you anytime you bring out a gun and you bring a bunch of people with guns around you that's a serious business that's that's a dangerous situation and you mention that it was always like this you know back in

decades ago they were on the door there wouldn't be this kind of a raid what do you really pinpoint as being the tipping point that allowed for this expansion because i know one of the factors in the expansion of swat teams many analysts and point two is that when the department of defense began giving extra weapons extra military equipment to local police departments all over the country so i'm curious what you know one element you think is really responsible for this expansion i see that as one major component i would mark that is one major event on this timeline the memorandum of understanding that struck between the department of defense and the department of justice to provide as you say military grade technology and weapons to police local police and states around the country in one thousand nine hundred four that was followed by an expansion of that funding for that kind of technology after september eleventh because again congress in the rush to address terrorism after september eleventh wanted to do something and what they did was they threw

a lot of money and money in technology for these weapons of technology for local swat teams law enforcement of the country and again what we know we all have in every town in america is drug users what we do not have in every turn in america is all right and then one of the things that radley balko who's covered this extensively was talking about was you mentioned that back in you know decades ago there would be knocks at the door and he said back you know during the cold war people would say you know everyone knows that this is a democracy because it three am if someone knocks at the door and they think it's the milkman and that masked men with guns was considered something that italian tarion state would only allow for now that we have that happening so broadly in the united states does that just prove except ends up what's become more of a totalitarian state certainly we've seen the growth of extreme tactics and militaristic paramilitary tactics all in the name of the war on drugs almost on the . the war on drugs it's an outrage people's lives are at stake people die because of this and what we're really talking about is a war on people all that continues that is quite amazed story tells us there are

major consequences and thank you for giving us some more insight into those as well that is your area and still to come on tonight's show new government agencies meant to protect the consumer are called dictatorships by a car or the man he is tonight to a time where they couldn't get out and then happy hour the g.o.p. is rallying they're calling the debt debate her they're bringing out an outlet they are bringing into it is moving to the death of a less popular sitcom the office is having to work hard country surprise surprise back in this month. they do go to bring justice work. i have a right to know what my government should do if you want to know why i think actually. what i would characterize obama as the charismatic version of american exceptionalism.

you know sometimes you see a story and see so. you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else and here's some other part of it and realize that everything you say you don't. charge is a big. enough part. i think. the world. we have to go to their safe get ready for freedom.

all right it's time for tonight's tool time award and it goes to plays republican congressman randy bauer now he is

a good ole boy from texas and until president obama released his birth certificate earlier this year he was also a birth or he was actually one of the three tax then lawmakers who co-sponsored this so-called birth of a bill which would have required all presidential candidates to produce a birth certificate to prove they meet constitutional requirements to be president and during a heated debate over health care reform now the power became famous for a very ugly outburst well another congressman was speaking take a listen and i warn you the sound is a little low so we'll play it twice but it is worth it. mr speaker. mr speaker do you hear he shouted baby killer while another congressman was addressing his fellow colleagues now that all aside now the republicans are in control he has landed a top seat on the financial services committee now does not make you feel secure in

your government now he says it's his mission to help dismantle some of the laws dealing with banks and wall street passed by the last congress he doesn't like that dodd frank bill that created the consumer financial protection bureau and the office of financial research here believes that these government agencies are evil because they're looking out for the consumer and not wall street and big banks the way he is right now basically these these agencies the two girls that i just mean richard a little dictatorships i mean do you support this person and they dictate what they can do to you how much they can charge you for. it if you don't want to you true there's really not much you process to do you don't think that's the real the toughest thing to do to bark or see. yeah he called the new agencies little dictatorships but this is not unique from the g.o.p. crowd when it comes to trying to rein in banks business and wall street since the

new congress was sworn in not about our and some of his fellow republicans have worked to defund the new financial regulations so they can be a forced effectively and mind you many analysts and economists that i've interviewed say that these new regulations are even tough enough to begin with to end too big to fail so there's that the back to these republicans they've also set of boards they can override any rules created by the two new government agencies that too but i have a question for congressman not of our and other g.o.p. lawmakers in his can at what point will you stop protecting the people who helped cause the financial crisis in the first place the big banks and wall street played by their own rules for years and look what happened they helped plunge the global economy into a recession and yet just a few years later the g.o.p. is back protecting them wall street and big banks have proven that they can't be trusted and lawmakers still want to ease off on the restrictions which aren't even tough enough to begin with so they answer regulation blocking replete with

dictatorship comparison we are giving tonight's tool time award for public and congressman randy knob of our of texas. all right the answer may be headed toward the fall but there is still time for happy hour and joining me for it is r t correspondent christine and j.p. fair he is senior communications strategist with new media strategies thanks for being here you guys were all right so sticking to the debt debate and some of the interesting shenanigans surrounding it apparently the house g.o.p. used a line from a recent ben affleck film to get fired and. rally around boners plan he played it for republicans so they could do just that and check out the scene that they watch from the town. and age out i can't tell you what it is you can never ask me about

it later i'm going to hurt some people. i was kind of going to take. is that a joke i mean you've got to be kidding me it's not only from the town but it is like they're plotting like a revenge attack which i guess you could say perhaps that's what the republicans are doing i don't know what they think calling me blindly without knowing what exactly i'm planning for whatever to do you just say yes i mean if we want to be like really sort of liberal with a metaphor and really work it all out i mean the guys that they're about to go wreak havoc on are actually very bad people so you know they are very bad people in the film but it's somebody that's already been real life but it real life i mean this fight both sides are characterizing the other side as being the you know the sum of all fears so i think you know i mean i don't know why they would show this in a briefing but you know it's just it's a metaphor it's a stupid metaphor or whatever i like the idea of bringing movie clips to congress as you know the hell can be such a stiff place you know if this is what's doing it for them why don't play always an

optimist and i are that after the clip of congressman allen west apparently said i'm ready to drive a car i don't believe i only drive my car i have a very bad investment i mean to say that this is this is a guy who is ushered into office with with the whole war crime up you know firing off a firearm next when insurgents had to find out where a terrorist attack might be happening and the voters of florida said well this is a feature this is not a bug this is not a problem we like this about this guy so of course going to jump all over this he looks like i'm going to jump on it well then i'd like somebody actually responded to the news that the g.o.p. used to sell him for inspiration he said that he said i don't know if this is a compliment or the ultimate repudiation but if they're going to be watching movies i think the company men is more appropriate. i'm well there's ben affleck's political commentary thanks ben i know it's a congressman listening to that maybe a little bit more better than the tell no let me let's move on ok so the office

started in britain and it was a hit on us of course and now ricky gervais's concept is spreading somewhere and maybe unlikely afghanistan. and they're doing a new show they're based on the office they're calling it the ministry and they actually have let. me go to the jungle. and it was a chicken. soup. all right when you think of me if you use this as an afghanistan i think this is so awesome because i mean i'm a huge fan of the office both the british version and the american version it's so funny there's a lot of stuff going on in afghanistan that that's hard for people to deal with and i love that they're talking about issues like women saying i hate men you're talking about drug cartel issues within afghanistan i mean i found it to be a little surprising knowing what i know about the strict laws are not accountable and right now because i'm missing it and i'm really upset i'm going to the ball

except when it comes out i'm going to want to show told my friends during prep parties somebody like you this episode is a really good one you have. a lot of how long before the u.s. is using this is propaganda and i want to behind it because the scene the woman saying i hate men like what is that to show that women are allowed to say that now in afghanistan it feels like there is propaganda being well it's very the way things actually are in afghanistan in terms of how they talk about it maybe they'll appreciate it because you know there's always that sense that you know what's going on underground even if you're not allowed to talk about it so maybe in the comfort of their own homes they'll be able to live and they're also they're also making fun of the graphic stuff so that's that's nice that you know the government officials just somebody's brother or something like that so that's good i mean you know we need a little bit more of that here in the u.s. from the government so yeah maybe this will inspire our version of the office and moving on most people have heard of pole dancing classes they've been pretty popular in the united states but usually they're popular among you know adults and u.k. there's actually a gym that has taken customers as young as seven years old for pole dancing and

they posted the pictures on line on facebook of these young girls these are seven year olds doing. some really sophisticated pole dancing do you think about that well i mean i started pole dancing at a very early age when it was around it was around there's no we don't have a pole i didn't bring it with me but. i said when i was six and it was really really hard trying to tell you to pull dance at six fifty i'd rather not get into. this until i got really good girls exacts are the consequences really bad tips i'll just say you know at the age of seven when i started really working i just didn't really get that much money so all this is i'm kidding. i mean i think it's very strange but i'm not one of those people that's going to say this is teaching these young girls how to be strippers now i mean isn't that exactly what it's doing that's what you do when you're a stripper and that's it's one of the very also what you're doing when you're in pole dancing class and i mean i'm not i'm not going to the fact that the parents

allow these pictures to be posted on facebook of their kids doing strip dancing but there's a lot obesity ok that does that i'll actually advocate for thanks for fighting obesity but meanwhile speaking of living conditions new details are out about some good ones not some great expected prison in norway where the norway bomber is expected to perhaps and take a look at why some people are calling this the nicest prison in the entire world. except a gold bedroom at the holden prison complete with a flat screen t.v. prisoners have access to a state of the art gym where they can shoot hoops or do a little rock climbing and there's artwork sprinkled throughout the facility including this mural and we're not even showing you the prisons recording studio where inmates are rehearsing the prisons first musical production come on believe in the norway prisons how is that reasonable for present well i mean i wouldn't recommend just overall in their entire prison system it's just that in every in every prison so they have this guy should just be the toilet i mean if you just

replace one of the toilets and he should be this is really tough because it's the person who may go there and there's a great big did it's. so fresh in our minds it's atrocious and it's horrible and to think that people like i could end up there is just awful on the other hand think about the prisons we have here in the us in norway they only go to prison for twenty years they're going to get back out into society so this guy excluded if you have a lower offense people going to prison maybe it's nice that they're in places where they can learn how to musicals eat healthy food i don't know if i want terrorists convicted to be the head lead in a musical that we've got to move out sort of with a brick ok well speaking of i don't know president something that i don't think they get in norway is a smartphone i hope everyone has one these days but they are shelling out tons of money and what are they doing it for an article the daily mail says that a third don't even know what they're selling out the money for that a third are going to purchase the new i phone five even though they have no idea any details about the phone but i think about these just pulls in i say going to

say outer i've heard that once you go back you never go back. and i don't know i mean i know and you know people people give me like sad eyes when i show them that i have a droid. you know there's this whole debate over not versus other but i really think it is and we were talking about this earlier just brand loyalty and it's you know that you're going to get something that you like with a mac product you're probably going to buy it and expect it's going to be good and you're probably going to be right i don't just shelling out money there for something that you have no idea what is even going to be involved they could just get away with doing nothing and getting more money you know it's like congress they're going to go out the lincoln grow you know this managed to tie it all back in full sort of i want to go back to the beginning and thank you guys so much for being here and we are out of time but i really like how you are going to need to do this job that is it precise so thank you so much for tuning and make sure to come back tomorrow in a sense from cato will be here on the show to discuss the latest out of afghanistan and in the meantime do not forget to become a fan of be alone
